Search results also will indicate whether a specific movie or show is available for download via a download icon on the details page. To find more shows and movies to download, users can click “See What’s Downloadable” and browse titles. In the app, there’s a new “Downloads” tab at the bottom of the screen for accessing downloaded content.
